15 men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlin spike
And Cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten
And there they lay all good dead men
Like a break of day in a boozing ken
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
15 men of the whole ship's list
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Dead and bedamned and the rest gone whist
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
And there they lay and the soggy skies
Dripped down in up-staring eyes
At murk sunset and foul sunrise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
15 men of 'em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Ten of the crew had the murder mark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or yawned hole in a battered head
And the scuppers glut with a rotting red
And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes
Lookin' up in paradise
All souls bound just contrariwise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
15 men of 'em good and true
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Every man Jack could ha' sailed with old Pew
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
There was just one chest of Spanish gold
A ton of plate in the middle hold
And the cabins riot with stuff untold
And there they lay that took the plum
With a sightless glare and their lips struck dumb
We shared all by the rule of thumb
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
ย
More was seen through a stern light screen
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Chartings undoubt where a woman had been
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot
A dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot
And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot
Oh, was she wench or some shudderin' maid
Dared the knife and took the blade?
By God, she had stuff for a plucky jade
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
15 men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
We wrapped 'em up in a mains'l tight
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight
With a yo heave ho and a fare you well
And a sudden plunge in a sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Oh, bloody hell
Hello
Yes, deary
Yes, deary, I'm coming home
Was hanging out with me mates
Bloody hell, can't even be pirates
